TOR for Consultant

1. Background

Drowning is the most common cause of death among children in Thailand. Promoting knowledge on drowning prevention is a key priority for Save the Children to increase children’s safety in Thailand.

Education is important in promoting behavior change, and there is currently a lack of educational materials on child drowning prevention in Thailand.
